Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Just to clarify for the opposition, this has nothing to do with the government. We're simply talking about opposition parties needing to be represented in order to have a reduced quorum. If the government's here, we have quorum anyway, and if Mr. Atamanenko and Mr. Bellavance don't want it in their party's rights.... I would find it disturbing if the NDP didn't want to show up to a meeting and therefore used their power to not have reduced quorum by not showing up at a meeting.
I'm simply saying with my proposed amendment that the Liberal Party, for example, couldn't just hold their own meeting and call it a reduced quorum. That's the point. But if that's not of concern to the opposition, then we can move on with it as it is. I know Mr. Easter speaks for the other side lots of time anyway.
